Japan Protests Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Visit to Disputed Kuril Islands

Date:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited the Kuril Islands, marking a significant visit to the disputed territory in the northwestern Pacific. The visit prompted formal diplomatic protests from the Japanese government, which claims sovereignty over the southern portion of the chain, known in Japan as the Northern Territories. The long-standing territorial disagreement, dating back to the end of World War II, continues to prevent the two nations from concluding a formal peace treaty, with bilateral relations becoming increasingly strained in recent years.

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin conducted a visit to the disputed Kuril Islands chain.
  • Japan officially protested the visit, reaffirming its claim over the southern islands, which it calls the Northern Territories.
  • The territorial dispute originated when Soviet troops seized the islands at the end of World War II in 1945.
  • The unresolved status of the islands has kept Russia and Japan from signing an official peace treaty to formally end World War II hostilities.

    🇨🇦 Some Holy Writings – Food for Thought and Reflection. 🇨🇦
    The essence of the Vision of Canadas Destiny written 109 years ago by Abdu'l-Baha, Haifa Israel, February 21, 1917……
    "To the Baha'is of Canada and Greenland ….the future of the Dominion of Canada however, is very great, and the events connected with it infinitely glorious. It shall become the object of the glance of providence, and shall show forth the bounties of the All-Glorious – Again I repeat that the future of Canada, whether from a material or a spiritual standpoint, is very great. Day by day civilization and freedom shall increase.” In all the Holy Writings of the Baha’i Faith, no other Country has received such praises.
    🇨🇦 The Báb (The Gate, 1819-1850) On May 23, 1840, declared the coming of the long awaited "Promised One”, like John the Baptist was martyred July 9, 1850 in Tabriz Iran, 1st. by a Persian regiment of 750 soldiers all missing, then by a Russian regiment, upon which an earthquake and plague struck, with most soldiers dying by falling stones or later for desertion.
    ….. ""Thy loving providence hath encompassed all created things in the heavens and on the earth, and Thy forgiveness hath surpassed the whole creation. Thine is sovereignty; in Thy hand are the Kingdoms of Creation and Revelation; in Thy right hand Thou holdest all created things and within Thy grasp are the assigned measures of forgiveness. Thou forgivest whomsoever among Thy servants Thou pleasest. Verily Thou art the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Loving. Nothing whatsoever escapeth Thy knowledge, and naught is there which is hidden from Thee,"
    🇨🇦 On April 29,1863, the most prominent Babi in the Garden of Ridvan in Bagdad, proclaimed to be "The Promised One,” taking the title Baha’u’llah (The Glory of God, 1817-1892). In 1852, loosing all material possessions and cast in a deep dungeon jail for four months became aware of his destiny, later writing ……“When I contemplate, O my God, the relationship the bindeth me to Thee, I am moved to proclaim to all created things “verily I am God”; and when I consider my own self, lo, find it courser than clay.” Before his passing the evening of May 29, 1892, Baha’u’llah had written over 15,000 tablets and epistles. His Will designated his oldest son Abdu'l Baha, (Servant of God, 1850-1921) born the evening of the Bab's declaration, the Head of The Baha’i Faith.
    🇨🇦 Abdu’l-Baha, now 68 after 56 years an exile and prisoner, in 1912 traveled to America declining a ticket on the Titanic for a less expensive ship to New York. He spent 239 days, travelling to Montreal and the US West Coast via Chicago. He visited 44 localities in 15 States plus Quebec and Toronto, giving 351 talks to over 86,000 people, with hundreds of Newspaper articles written, becoming known as "The Prophet of Peace," foretelling the coming of WW1. Later Knighted by the British for his humanitarian work in Palestine during WW1.
    🇨🇦 In Chicago, where the magnificent Baha'i Temple now stands in Willamette, meeting Rabindranath Tagore, (1861-1941) forming a life long friendship that transcended time and place, even adopting Abdul Bahas manor of dress. In 1913 Tagore received a Nobel Award for his Poetry then becoming India’s foremost contemporary Cultural Icon. Writing both India's and Bangladesh’s National Anthems, founding many schools, universities and a prominent writer and artist.Tagore continued his relationship with the Bahai’s. At the Ritz Carlton Hotel, New York City Dec. 7, 1930 saying, …”The first Prophet whom we know in the history of man was Zoroaster who preach gave birth to him arose another great prophet of the modern age, Baha’u’llah, who also preached God as profoundly one, in all races, tribes, and sects, the true worship of whom consists in service that has reason for it’s guide, and goodness and love for its inner motive purpose. We are here tonight to offer our homage to Baha’u’llah. He is the latest Prophet to come out of Asia. His life is certainly a glorious record of unflinching human search after truth; and his message is of great importance for the progress of civilization.”.
    🇨🇦 Some information about the growing Baha’i World Community. 🇨🇦
